The unseen creature whose ravenous fangs dog your every step as your footfalls echo down the midnight alleyway.
—
A long, icy shadow looming over you, making the hairs on your neck rise and your breath turn to ragged puffs of mist.
—
Unearthly howls that pierce the night, pulling you from the comfort of sleep with feverish, heart-pounding dread.
